This damage was due to a SLOW hot water leak over the course of several weeks. During our dry out we started to notice visible mold growing on the walls and cabinetry. Sure enough, the majority of the structure was covered in it. So we did what we do best.. Kill the mold! We completed the mitigation in under a week and sanitized the structure with antimicrobial disinfectant numerous times. Shortly after we began with the rebuild and all in all generated one of our happiest clients. The family not only thanked us but actually sent us a Christmas card last year.

Albert Gabledon recently received a new certification for mold remediation. Certified Mold Remediation Contractor (CMRC) from the Mold Inspection, Consulting and Remediation Organization (MICRO). Micro is a division of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Some Los Angeles area restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and some may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is not accurate because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors.

The washing machine drain hose leaked which led to a mold infestation in this Los Angeles Utility Closet. There was no leak to be fixed, so it was possible to scrape off the small infestation and treat with a biocide to sanitize the affected drywall.

The aftermath of a leaking shower pipe had gone completely unnoticed and hidden in the crawlspace of this home. It was only until after SERVPRO was called due to a water pipe having burst in the crawlspace that the damage had been noticed. Tech pack out the affected areas, completed the water mitigation in the home and promptly began the mold remediation in the bathroom. The affected area was contained, cleaned, and cleared to begin the build back.

An ongoing sink leak left the drywall behind the sink stained and moldy. SERVPRO of Silver Lake / Echo Park was called out when the owner of the home had noticed a strange smell coming from his cabinets. Containment was put up to prevent any contamination to the rest of the home. The cabinets and affected drywall were demoed. Everything wiped down with an anti microbial agent, seal, tested, and prepped for reconstruction.

The affects of an unnoticed roof leak left a good part of this ceiling covered in mold. SERVPRO was called to remediate the home. A clearance test was preformed and passed. The ceiling drywall was put back and left looking brand new. The family was able to come back home at ease knowing their home was in good hands.

SERVPRO of Silver Lake/Echo Park was called out for water mitigation. The hardwood flooring had started to buckle and therefore we decided on removing flooring. As we removed the flooring we realized there was mold but that wasn't a problem we let the homeowner we would deal with it and it would be "Like it never even happened". The customer was relieved we did the water mitigation and the mold remediation.

SERVPRO of Silver Lake/ Echo Park was called for possible mold underneath crawlspace. When the tech went underneath home he saw the extent of mold and the reason why there was mold. Us being SERVPRO "We are always here to help". We dried the wood framing and remediated the mold.
